Nomoshkar warriors

Pro Kabaddi League: Among the founding franchises and a former champion in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), the Bengal Warriors, are back on home turf for the first time in four years, and for the first time after they won the title in 2019.

Led by the inimitable Maninder Singh and coached by K. Bhaskaran and Prashant Surve, the Bengal Warriors are keen to make a splash during their home leg in PKL Season 10, which has also returned to the caravan format for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. In the City of Joy, at the Netaji Indoor Stadium, the Bengal Warriors will play the Gujarat Giants first on Feb 9, then the Telugu Titans on Feb 10, before wrapping up the leg with games against U Mumba (Feb 13) and Puneri Paltan (Feb 14).

The Bengal Warriors have their task cut out in the race for the playoffs for this season and will hope to build some solid momentum during the home leg, and the last five games. However, the Bengal Warriors are more quietly confident of putting on a good show for their home fans and are hoping to give the people of the city enough and more reasons to rejoice in the first half of February.
